Pesto Veggie Flatbread Pizza

Mmmm.. cheeeseee. It is the sole reason why I’m not a vegan. It’s warming, inviting, cozy, and everything good in the world. This month is Non-GMO month and to celebrate Rumiano cheese sent me 5 coupons for free cheese! Yes, I was THAT girl in the check out line with $30 bucks worth of cheese handing over coupons holding everyone up.

They make their cheese in my current home-state of California and are the oldest family-owned cheese company here. This cheese is super vegetarian safe as they don’t use any animal rennet in making their cheese. Instead they use an organic microbial coagulant. (The science nerd in me was intrigued here, but I’ll save you from all my nerdyness). Rumiano cheese can be found pretty much everywhere. I bought mine at Safeway, but you can also find them in Whole Foods.

Now to the good stuff, pizza. Being a Jersey girl means I have probably eaten 10x my weight in pizza over my lifespan. The reason why pizza is so amazing out there is the thin crust and amazing tomato sauce. But all that goodness isn’t the healthiest. So I tried to make my own healthy version of pizza using lavash bread. It only takes 15 minutes!  A nice quick dinner or appetizer on one of those nights where you’re feeling lazy, which in my case is pretty much every other day.

Pesto Veggie Flatbread Pizza

Ingredients

• 6-9 thin slices of zucchini
• 5-6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 piece of lavash flatbread
• 1-2 tsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp pesto sauce
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• crushed red pepper, to taste (optional)
• dried oregano, to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prep your veggies wile you wait by slicing the zucchini and tomatoes!
2. Place lavash bread on a baking sheet and bake 5 minutes. This will dry the bread out a little.
3. Brush the lavash bread with olive oil, making sure you cover the sides!
4. Remove bread from oven and spread pesto sauce on top. Sprinkle on cheese, zucchini and cherry tomatoes. Return to oven and bake another 10 minutes or until the cheese is all nice and melted!
5. Remove flatbread from oven and sprinkle on the crushed red pepper and dried oregano to taste. Enjoy while hot!
